BSD and clusters

[rwhamann]

What are the cluster options for BSD? Do they have quickstart options like OSCAR?

I don't have a problem w/ Open Source. It will thrive. I run Fedora on my desktop and Smoothwall on my firewall at home. Both products are great and will continue to grow.

Gentoo, a single Linux distribution, is absolutely following BSD down the path to oblivion. Why else would Daniel Robbins leave a project he started? You should never allow good money or time to follow bad. Daniel cut his loses and left. He was smart. I have no idea when the rest of the Gentoo user community is going to realize that Gentoo, like BSD, and DOS 6.0, and CP/M, is walking down the wide road to hobbiest oblivion. Say hi to the Amiga guys for me.

Netcraft confirms it
